Thanks, John. i don’t know how you got such great shots of the creatures. What an incredible delight, a journey from my chair into the especial thrill of this even beyond the beautiful creatures, that emptiness. That desolate, quiet, the only human in it emptiness. Miles and miles of it.

Wow, oops … The patience shown for the critters … I assume there was no traffic on the road when you took the photo of the rattler. Did they literally all approach you, or were you the hunter and at times the hunted? Thanks for sharing these scenes. Kinda makes me “proud tuh be Ah-mer-cun.” I love it when there’s proof that we, in fact, did not “tame the wild West.”

The mountain lion and the Mexican wolf are actually in a controlled situation near Tucson, not wild. The snake, as I was looking at it with one eye through the camera, I thought was just a python. So I followed him into the underbrush, but fortunately (for me) he got away. Later, on the computer, I saw the rattlers :)
